         The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::memp_sync()</code> method flushes modified pages in the cache to
         their backing files.
    </p>
      <p>
         Pages in the cache that cannot be immediately written back to disk (for
         example, pages that are currently in use by another thread of control)
         are waited for and written to disk as soon as it is possible to do so.

                method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an
                exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
                failure, and returns 0 on success.
